Altharia in the Nation Song Contest

Altharia made its debut in the sixth edition of NSC and took part in every edition until the 13th, as well as in several spin-offs. The contests were broadcast by the national broadcaster, ART, who also organised the national finals.

The entry for this edition was announced to be Silence is Golden by Garbage (video). For the first time ever, the entry was chosen by internal selection. Altharia failed to qualify for the final and finished at 25th (second last) place in the semi-final.

The entry for this edition was once again chosen by internal selection. The chosen song was Hades "Pluton" by Sopor Aeternus (video). Altharia failed to qualify and ended up at 27th (second last) place in the semi-final.

In this edition, again an internal selection was held. The chosen song was "Free to Decide" by the Cranberries. The song ended up at 28th and last place in the final and was also Altharia's lowest-scoring entry with only 11 points.

Altharia participated with the song "Moonlight Densetsu" (sung by Moon Lips), the opening song from the once-popular anime Sailor Moon. Echoing the country's usual fate in the main NSC, Altharia ended up in 22nd and second last place.

Altharia also participated in the first Nation World Cup. The Altharian team took off with a flying start and advanced to the semi-finals, where they were finally beaten by Rotterdamus. Altharia also lost to Andromeda in the bronzematch, thus ending up at overall 4th place.
